how to tie??

Today I learned a traditional way of tying for a box.

It was a little difficult but really rational.

The knot is flat and comes untied.

I'm always impressed  with the knowledge of traditional Japaneses people!!

sitting position

She is only 1 year old and can kneel on her knees!!

In a Japanese-style room covered with Tatami,kneeling on my one's knees is the basic way of sitting for Japanese.

Recently, the number of houses with Japanese-style room is decreasing...

A year ago,I visited a temple,"Enkakuji", in Kamakura.
An art project was held at the temple and there were many glasses with water.
The view was so beautiful,fantastic,like a heaven.

How do you feel about these flowers?

They are dying and most of people will replace them.
In the traditional Japanese culture,we enjoy the blossom buds,the blooming flowers,the wilting flowers,also the dying flowers.
We love nature itself.

New Zealane??
No, here is a pasture in Chiba,called "Mother Bokujyo".
It is a huge place and there were many animals(sheep,pigs,ducks,horses...)

a peaceful day

October has come, and the weather has become cooler.

The wind bring me the orange osmanthus.

Today I went to a park near my house and  relaxed without thinking of business.
